Singapore Zoo

We had all gone to bed at 3am the night before so it was no surprise that we all slept through the alarm. By the time we were awake it was already nearly noon and we had missed breakfast. Today was our last day with Sarma so we had decided to do Singapore Zoo and Night Safari.

By the time we got organised it was a lot later and as we had …

On one of our final days in Singapore, we headed to the zoo! We had heard that Singapore Zoo was amongst one of the best in the world. They are also very keen on animal conservation, and don't believe in keeping any of the animals in enclosed cages. But we hoped they were still securely enclosed, or no doubt it was going to be a tourist feeding …

This year Colleen had to wait to get her birthday present until we came to Singapore, I'd arranged for us to have a private tour of the zoo with breakfast with the Orangutans included. The local tour operator collected us from the hotel in a nice BMW and proceeded to drive us in the most aggressive fashion up …

Today I was up and out of bed early ready to have breakfast at the Coffee Bean and then to see a bit more of Singapore.

As I walked down Orchard Road I noticed how amazingly quiet it was and suddenly realised that it was Sunday and nothing was open that early! Dam I could've had a lay in after all! It was actually quite nice to walk down …

From Siem Reap things got a little out of hand.- to put it dramatically.

An awfully long bus ride to bangkok with potentially the worse border crossing of …

Vi har i dag været i ZOO, hvor vi havde selskab af Jens Hartvig, der alligevel lå på et eller andet kæmpe skib i "nærheden"...

Hvis man nogensinde slår et smut forbi Singapore kan deres ZOO uden tvivl anbefales! Den får til gengæld også Københavns ZOO til at se noget sølle ud. Haven er et kæmpe areal, hvor man føler, at man kommer utrolig …

Welcome again, this is Taggington ready to fill you in on the next instalment of our trip… Singapore. A highly developed and urbanised city-state off the southern tip of Malaysia, Singapore is home to 5 million people mostly of Chinese, Malay or Indian descent, though English is one of its official languages and is widely spoken. The …

Singapore Zoo & Jurong Bird Park

Maybe 32˚C (but it didn't feel that hot), cloudy, some humidity.

After the lovely buffet breakfast, we were out the front at the bus stop to wait for the 9:30am Singapore Attractions Express which goes out to the Jurong Bird Park - or that's what I thought I'd seen on the internet when …

Singapore,

We arrived into Singapore by a long 9 hour coach journey during the day. I had the pleasure of being stopped by customs security for a random check which is quite a daunting ordeal when stood next to a sign warning of execution for drug trafficking, obviously I knew I was innocent of carrying any contraband but when I started to …

Twas another early start to await the arrival of our lift to Phuket airport, and by 7am we were on the road to make our brief return to Singapore to catch our next leg of our round the world ticket. Our taxi gave us a special parting gift from Phuket - a delightful array of cover versions of fairly bad 80s music, all mashed up in a Grease Megamix …

... . But sometimes you just cant put a price on such an experience. The day ended with another "must do"...The night safari at the Singapore Zoo. It was amazing! It was a tram ride thru the Zoo after dark when all the night animals are out and in ...

Being reasonably travelled around these parts we knew of a Zoo in the Singapore area. On our last visit we noted the sign as we visited the sister Night Safari just across the road. I visit a lot of zoos. I get what a zoo needs and how it can be ...

... and girls? can you?" Leave it out, how can something so cool become so juvenile. The next day we went to the Singapore Zoo and Night Safari. The zoo is outstanding thanks to the lack of both cages and depressed looking animals. All the exhibits mimic ...

... top notch! We kept my parents on the run our three days here visiting the national Botanic Garden, the Jurong Bird Park, Singapore Zoo, and Night Safari. All of these attractions were staggeringly well done. We had become pretty tough to impress after ...

... airport and head off to Sydney, should be wicked!! So on the first day, we took a trip to Santosa, an island off Singapore which is geared up for tourists really! We did a tour which included a cable car ride, Carlsberg sky tower, underwater world, ...

... and predictable, Singapore is more like a London tube at rush hour. Packed full with representatives of every country. However, Singapore's underground is clean and organised. Our first experience was the smooth ride in a tube from the airport. Locals ...

... around the first section of the Zoo. Again the animals are separated by natural barriers instead of being in cages, similar to Singapore Zoo’s open concept. It was also nice to see the animals awake as they naturally should be, as in most ...
